Head Over Heels: Appearances can be deceiving...
2025 has been a surprising year for stories that rework romantic clichés, and Head Over Heels set out to go beyond just another high school rom-com with a near-love triangle it did so brilliantly.
My 9.5 rating is thanks to the cast, especially the leads. Cho Yihyun and Choo Youngwoo's chemistry is beautiful, charming, and dare I say, real. You can feel sincerity in their gestures. Yihyun’s pink tones don’t hint at the depth Sungah carries within, contrasting with the misfortune and melancholy of Gyeonu, who believes that distance is his way of loving others. Their meeting is powerful, and their development is utterly captivating.
A special shout-out to their versatility, they created a third character, Bongsu, who fluidly connects the two, and you really believe in him.
Blending genres like romance, drama, comedy, fantasy, and occult isn’t easy, but it gave Head Over Heels a distinct charm that sets it apart from typical high school fluff.
While the main arc had minor flaws, they didn’t stop me from enjoying the drama it was beautiful, youthful, and fun. I'd definitely watch it again. I hope to see Yihyun and Youngwoo in future projects their chemistry is perfect!
